Fruity Pancakes
Author: Nisa Burns Cochran
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2¼ cups milk
- ½ cup hulled and sliced strawberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 3-5 tbsp butter, 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil, or cooking oil spray
- Syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Use a whisk or spoon to combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl, then set the bowl aside.
- Use a whisk or spoon to blend the eggs, melted butter, and milk in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients ½ cup at a time to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly so the batter is smooth, not lumpy.
- Fold the strawberries and blueberries into the batter.
- Place frying pan over medium heat. Depending on the pan size, you can make one to three pancakes at a time. Use 1 tablespoon of butter or enough to coat the bottom of the pan when melted, or coat the pan with vegetable oil or cooking oil spray. Add more butter, oil, or cooking spray as needed.
- Use ⅓ cup to make pancakes approximately 2 inches in diameter. Scoop batter and pour it into the pan. Using a measuring cup ensures your pancakes will cook evenly.
- After about 2 minutes, bubbles will start to form, break, and stay open on the top of your pancakes. Flip the pancakes in the pan to cook the other side, about 2 minutes.
- When both sides of your pancakes are golden brown, remove them from the pan. Top with syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream, if desired.
